Just had a look at the shells and no markings, alas. My spare engine (which also has some issues) has the following marked on the lower case 'CCCBC'The crank has the following markings:Journal 1 = 2A Conrod = D3Journal 2 = 1A Conrod = D2Journal 3 = 1A Conrod = D1Journal 4 = 1A Conrod = D1I'm not sure I'm any the wiser!
Trig, I have measured up the crank (my expensive digital micrometer goes to 3 decimal places). What I'm tring to resolve is whether to mic up the casing bores or whether I can use the the stamped numbers on the crankcase.
Thanks - I'll nip down to the guy doing the case cleaning tomorrow and get the letters off the case so I can get shells on order (or hunt for them!!) Are the letter stamps in the same sequence as the journals?So, as an example, (looking at the chart) a crank journal of 31.98mm would require a 'black' shell set for 'c'Is it best to check with plastigauge before final assembly?
